The constant tight muscles are causing narrowing, osteophytes, and a number of other issues with my skeleton as a whole.\u00a0 My neurological system is taking a hit as nerves are being compressed.<\/p>\n<p>My medical treatment is more of palliative care, and the injections I&#8217;m receiving are focused on deadening nerves or relaxing muscles in a target fashion.<\/p>\n<p>My hands occasionally are capable of typing.\u00a0 However, any static motion causes cramps and spasms.<\/p>\n<p>To be able to do anything, my body must keep moving.<\/p>\n<p>Suspending my head frequently causing painful issues with my neck.\u00a0 I&#8217;m not sure where that is going.\u00a0 The issue is relatively new and documented on my various medical images generated by MRI or X-Rays.\u00a0 Likewise, for my lower back.<\/p>\n<p>Fear, is becoming a hurdle.\u00a0 As staying out of my comfort zone for an extended period of time will drop me and cause days of recuperation if I screw up, I am beginning to dread not being home.

My method of going out of my home includes taking copious amounts of medication.\u00a0 Seeing the world stoned, drugged or whatever term you choose to use, is my only recourse of action to be able to escape Eden.<\/p>\n<p>I must do it now. As, I submit this article, I&#8217;m going get ready to go to Mass.\u00a0 My wife is serving on the Altar.\u00a0 I don&#8217;t want to go without her being next to me, but I have to do this for myself.
